Melbourne is considered to be the shopping capital of Australia and offers some of Australia’s biggest shopping complexes as well as sophisticated, exclusive boutiques and a host of lively and popular markets. Melbourne has a population of over 4 million people, one quarter of which were born overseas making it one of the world’s most multicultural cities.

There are people from 140 nations living harmoniously together. This broad ethnic mix has brought many benefits to the city including a wide range of cuisines and over 2,300 elegant restaurants, bistros and cafes.

Sometimes called the culinary capital of Australia, Melbourne has a vast array of restaurants, offering a variety of international cuisine. Bustling Chinatown in the heart of the city, serves up the finest of Asian cuisine and culture. Several other Melbourne streets are dedicated to Vietnamese, Italian and Greek food - cuisine to suit every palate and many to suit a student’s budget.

Information for International Students studying at Baxter Institute Direct Entry Requirements Certificate II to Certificate IV (other than English courses) IELTS 5.5 or equivalent Completion of Year 11 (Aus) or equivalent Diploma IELTS 5.5 or equivalent Completion of Year 11 (Aus) or equivalent See Individual information page for each qualification for any specific requirements.

English Proficiency Entry Requirements: 1.Having arrived at an admission decision, the English language skills (language and literacy) will be assessed via the pre-training review process. If the student has a satisfactory IELTS score of 5.5 or equivalent the applicant will be admitted to his/her chosen course.

2.If an applicant cannot produce a satisfactory IELTS score or equivalent, and there are doubts about English language skills to cope in an academic environment, the applicant is advised to enrol in an EAL (English as a Additional Language) course at Baxter Institute for an appropriate duration until the student achieves an IELTS score of 5.5 or equivalent (Certificate III EAL) Mature age entry for applicants who can demonstrate an ability to undertake the course through interview & LLN test.

Note for international students: For student visa requirements, please visit www.immi.gov.au for details and updates as assessment levels vary from country to country.

Pre-Training Review All students must participate in a pre-training review to ensure students are enrolled in the most appropriate qualification, and to maximise their opportunity of successfully completing their designated training course. It is a meeting between the institute and the student prior to course commencement, which allows the student’s current skills and abilities to be considered, and informs the development of an individual learning/training plan. The pre-training review will assist in determining the appropriate training and assessment options and support strategies necessary for the student in order to successfully complete their qualification whilst addressing any special needs. As a part of the review, all students are expected to complete a LLN test.

Department of Immigration and Border Protection According to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection you must provide evidence that satisfies the assessment factors applicable to you to be granted a student visa. Assessment factors include your financial situation, English proficiency, likely compliance with the conditions of your visa and any other matters considered relevant to assessing your application. Students must notify the institute of changes of address, telephone number, email address and fax number within 7 days of the change, which is a requirement of visa conditions. Additional information on student visas is available from: www.immi.gov.au

Pathway to higher education Baxter Institute has articulation agreements with many institutions such as Holmes Institute, NMIT and Stott’s College, to allow students who have completed diploma courses to advance their study to a Bachelor program.

Students who follow these pathways may be eligible for up to one year credit towards their bachelor course. This translates as a reduction in the duration of study and hence a significant saving on the overall cost of the degree, it’s that simple!

Credit Transfer and Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualification based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. The credit transfer process involves: • Mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the learning outcome, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of one qualification are equivalent to the learning outcomes, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualification.

• Making a judgment about the credit to be assigned between the matched components of the two qualifications.

Credit will be granted in accordance with the Credit Transfer procedure.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for RPL. The outcome will be determined in accordance with the Institute’s RPL procedure.

To apply for credit transfer or RPL, students must complete the relevant application form and attach copies of certified documents to support the application. Please refer to the website for details or speak to our support staff for assistance.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover for the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefits organization – commonly referred to as a health fund before applying for your visa.

You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to cover you from the time you arrive.

The Department of Border and Protection requires you to maintain OSHC for the duration of your time on a student visa in Australia. OSHC can be arranged through Baxter Institute upon request via BUPA. Prior to making an application for BUPA’s OSHC, students must read the rules. Please visit their website for policy and procedures and further details: http://www. bupa.com.au/health-insurance/cover/oshc.

Student recruitment, selection and enrolment process Applications for admission for international students must be made using the student application form.

Students must complete the student application form and send the completed form to the Institute together with certified copies of the following: • Photocopy of passport • Highest education qualification and relevant academic documents • IELTS or equivalent For students that do not complete IELTS, an LLN test may be required to determine English proficiency. Students required to complete the LLN test will do so at orientation. (For further information on Assessment Level, please visit: www.immi.gov.au) Completed student application forms will be processed by the Institute and the application assessed on the basis of the information supplied. The participants for each program offered by the Institute will be selected in a manner that reflects access and equity principles. You may speak to our staff or visit our website for more details.

Satisfactory Course progress At Baxter Institute we have chosen to monitor our International students based on Academic Progress Requirements under Standard 10 of the National Code. If a student does not have satisfactory academic progress, he or she will be reported to Department of Immigration and Border Protection via PRISMS which may lead to the cancellation of the student visa. For the Institute, Unsatisfactory progress is defined as not successfully completing or demonstrating competency in at least 50% of the course progress requirements of that study period as defined in the training plan.

A study period is a discrete period of time measured in weeks. The study period begins from the student’s actual commencement date. The course may contain one or more study periods. For courses of less than 24 weeks, the entire course will be a single study period. For longer course there will be more than one study period. Different courses have study periods of different duration. All study periods within a course will be the same except for the final study period which may be shorter due to a course coming to an end, but it will still be considered as a full study period. The study periods of all courses are prominently listed in the enrolment form, letter of offer and student agreement so those students have full access to all necessary information regarding study periods prior to commencing their course.

Baxter Institute monitors international students every five weeks across all study periods that students are enrolled for, including compulsory study periods and non-compulsory periods. A compulsory study period is one in which the student must enrol unless granted a deferment or suspension from enrolment or leave of absence under standard 13 of the National Code; an example of a non-compulsory period is a term break. Students who are in danger of being unable to complete a course within the expected duration of study as recorded on the CRICOS register can be considered “at risk” of not meeting satisfactory course progress requirements.

Students will be interviewed, counseled and will be placed on a course intervention strategy which may include, but is not limited to academic skills support, additional English support, additional tutoring, placement in a more appropriate class to get back on the right track of having satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. The course intervention strategy may be activated at any time by the Institute during the study period to support students if required. A warning letter can only be sent to a Student “at risk” after that study period has ended. If a student is identified as not making satisfactory course progress in a second consecutive compulsory study period in a course, the Institute must notify the student of its intention to report the student to Department of Immigration and Border Protection for unsatisfactory progress. The Institute does this through the written notice of intention to report the student for unsatisfactory progress.

In the noticeBaxter Institute must inform the student that he or she is able to access the registered provider’s complaints and appeals process under Standard 10 and that the student has 20 working days plus 2 days for postal handling from the date of issue in which to do so.

22

Where the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals processes within the 22 working day period, the student withdraws from the process, or the process is completed and results in a decision supporting the Institute (i.e. the student’s appeal was unsuccessful) the Institute must notify the Secretary of DIBP through PRISMS as soon as practicable of the student not achieving satisfactory course progress.

Notes

If the student’s Appeal is successful or there are compassionate or compelling reasons for the lack of progress, ongoing support must be provided to the student through the Institute’s intervention strategy, and the Institute will not report the student.

Deferring, suspending or cancelling the student’s enrolment Students may initiate a request to defer commencement of studies or suspend their studies on the grounds of compassionate or compelling circumstances. Students wishing to defer the commencement of studies or suspend their studies must apply to do so in writing to the Institute by completing Deferral or Suspension form AD106 and submitting supporting documents. The Institute may decide to suspend or cancel a student’s enrolment by its own initiative as a response to misbehaviour or poor academic results of the student. Deferral of commencement, suspension of enrolment and cancellation of enrolment have to be reported to Department of Immigration and Border Protection via PRISMS and may affect the status of a student visa.

The ESOS Framework - Providing quality education and protecting your rights The Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality of service and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2007.

Please visit https://aei.gov.au/Regulatory-Information/EducationServices-for-Overseas-Students-ESOS-Legislative-Framework/ ESOSQuickInformation/Documents/ESOS%20Factsheets/ESOS%20 Factsheets%202012/The%20ESOS%20framework.pdf for details.

Protection for overseas students

As an overseas student on a student visa, you must study with an education provider and in a course that can be found on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) at http://CRICOS.deewr.gov.au CRICOS registration guarantees that the course and the education provider at which you study meet the high standards necessary for overseas students. In 2011, changes to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act have further strengthened protections for international students through the introduction of the Tuition Protection Service (TPS).
